Rebounders, or mini-trampolines, can greatly increase detox which is necessary with lyme die-off and toxins.
Discover The Benefits Of Rebounding
I always knew I was getting a full body workout by using my Urban Rebounder, but I never knew just how much I was really enhancing my health by using it, until I started researching this topic. I have listed below the main benefits of rebounding.
HELPS FIGHT FATIGUE: Rebounding tones the glandular system which increases the output of the thyroid gland. This helps to increase your energy levels..
STRENGTHENS THE HEART: Rebounding strengthens your heart by increasing the G-force causing greater contraction. As these muscles work harder, they get stronger.
IMPROVES CIRCULATION: Rebounding increases collateral circulation - this is the formation of new branch blood vessels which distributes blood to the heart.
REDUCES BLOOD PRESURE: Rebounding boosts muscles tone to the middle arterial muscles which will act as a buffer during high stress periods. This also helps your blood pressure return to normal quicker after acute stress.
LOWERS CHOLESTEROL: Rebounding has been proven to help lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
FIGHTS HEART DISEASE: Rebounding decreases the incidence of cardiovascular disease.
BOOSTS RED BLOOD CELLS: Rebounding helps increase red blood cell production. The red blood cells carry oxygen and nutrients to the tissues of your body, and also helps remove carbon dioxide in them.
CIRCULATES OXYGEN: Rebounding circulates more oxygen to the tissues - an oxygen rich body is usually a disease free body, because where there is oxygen there cannot be disease.
AIDS MUSCLE PERFORMANCE: Rebounding helps fluid move more easily within your body, this helps muscle performance, which lightens the load on your heart.
AIDS LYMPHATIC CIRCULATION: Rebounding helps the Lymph fluids circulate throughout your entire body - which acts as your body's internal vacuum cleaner.
STIMULATES METABOLISM: Once you raise your metabolism you burn fat at a faster rate throughout the day, even while sleeping.
IMPROVES DIGESTION AND ELIMINATION PROCESS: Rebounding has been proven effective in returning natural, regular bowel movements to chronically constipated individuals.
REDUCES OBESITY: Rebounding decreases body fat, and improves body and muscle tone. It also helps your body burn carbohydrates at a faster rate.
EASES MENSTRUAL DISCOMFORT: Rebounding eases menstrual fatigue, and discomfort.
AIDS IN MUSCLE TONE: Rebounding tones and tightens your muscles.
PROVIDES MUSCLE PAIN RELIEF: Rebounding provides relief from neck and back pain, from headaches and from other pains caused by the lack of use of the joints and muscles of your body.
MAINTAIN PEAK BRAIN FUNCTION AT ANY AGE: Rebounding results in sharper mental performance, with better learning processes.
BRINGS ON BETTER SLEEP: Even very light, gentle rebounding allows for better, and easier relaxation and sleep.
MINIMIZES THE NUMBER OF COLDS: Rebounding helps keep the entire body in tune and minimizes your number of colds, allergies, digestive and abdominal problems.
STOPS PREMATURE AGING: Rebounding can actually reverse, prevent, or diminish hardening of the arteries. This will help keep your mind alert, skin smooth, skeleton flexible, libido intact, kidneys functioning, blood circulating, liver detoxifying, enzyme systems alive, memory intact, and dramaticly slow down the aging process.
Maybe this is why "Consumer Reports" rated the Urban Rebounder in the top 100 products of the year. Now that you know all of the benefits of rebounding, all that's left to do is get your own. Source: googled "rebounding", my lyme brain did not copy the source - sorry. -------------------------------------------------
IME as a health pro for 25 years (thousands of patients with many types of conditions) recommending a rebounder / mini-trampoline was one of the best things I ever did.
I used one extensively and was very happy with the results. They increase toxin drainage and increase the amounts of oxygen in tissues, both very important for those with lyme.
Stabilizing bars to hold onto can help greatly if you have balance problems.
IME really cheap ones can cause ankle + knee problems making those joints unstable. If you already have joint problems in those areas they may get worse.
Urban brand on amazon run about $100. Other good ones can be high $300s.

I love my rebounder!
Even if you can't jump due to weakness and fatigue, I find that just bouncing lightly can be very helpful.
I intend on using mine even more in the future as I get better, to maintain good health.

I bought my rebounder about 5 yrs ago. I was just too weak and ill at the time to use it. It would kill my knees too.
I've been doing Y heated pool arthritic classes for over a year now. So maybe I need to dust off my rebounder and use on off days of Y.
Thanks massman for all the info. I knew it was good for lymph drainage, but I didn't realize it could benefit so much more.

I had a Needak which I was very happy with.
It was built very well (I was a machinist for 10 years + could recognize the quality.)
It had a stabilizer bar to hang onto if needed. Current prices may be in the $300 range. If you look at that as an investment for 10 yrars, that is $30 per year. Or $2.50 per month.
And they msy well last longer than 10 years.

My goodness $300 is a bit steep. Esp. if one is not sure they can/would use the equipment.
I bought mine at Dick's Sporting Goods for $30. So maybe starting small wouldn't seem so bad. One with a stabilizer bar would be great for those in a really bad way on cane or walker.

I have an Urban rebounder. I bought it a few weeks ago. I like it just fine but haven't been able to use it much since I have a bum arm and the bouncing hurts it. It seems pretty sturdy so I think it will hold up OK. I bought mine at a sporting goods store for $100.

I have one for 69. If you are very sick you cannot jump so high and then the quality is not so important.
I have one with a handle and these are more expensive ( without they start at 49). But I recommend the handle for sick people. If you get a bit dizzy or if you are tired the handle is very helpful. On bad days you just hang on the handle and have some fun.
Interesting that it detoxes, I had to start slowly and only can do 5 minutes.

Last time I bounced gently on my big ball(forgot what it's called) a few times it about did me in.... I think it's the jarring. How does your body handle it?

- Inner ear patients: rather than invest a lot of money, try out a friend's rebounder first, very gently. Most vestibular therapists and inner ear doctors discourage all out bouncing for good reason - but very gently - I found a way that works.
I find what is actually better for anyone with inner /middle ear (vestibular) involvement is a Balance Mat - one can bounce just gently enough on that to get the lymph going but it does not cause the vestibular irritation that a rebounder can bring to those with ear troubles - or for those with brain inflammation.
"AIREX BALANCE" mat is what to search for. It's 2.5 inches of VERY dense closed-cell foam. I'd like one even thicker but be sure to get no less than 2.5 inches thick so that there is enough give to achieve some sort of push-back.
One can keep a hand on a counter top - and also place this near furniture for added vestibular stabilization. Still fix gaze on one constant point to help maintain balance.
I found no odor to it at all so those with MCS should be pleased (but would still want to air it out for a little bit).
Amazon carries this as do many other retailers.
============
For vestibular patients, too, a PT or BALANCE BALL can be helpful to achieve some bounce - be sure your feet also get the push-back from the floor.
Due to some inner ear bone structure stuff, I can not longer bounce on a trampoline at all. However, the Balance Mat and the Balance Ball work very well to put just right amount of bounce in my life - and my inner ear does okay with that, within reason.
For other with inner ear issues, the mat and ball can be a way to work up to the trampoline. -

How do you know when you get the lymph going?
What duration of bouncing is enough?

- when you feel circulation is going - lymph is moved by muscle contractions.
I'd start with one minute every other day. See how that goes for a short time and you'll probably be able to do a few minutes every other day. Then, although he does not refer to rebounders, it's still good to follow Dr. B's guidelines on exercise for guidance on frequency, etc.
But, after you are used to this and if you are just being rather gentle, it's good to hop on this for a few minutes every time you walk past it - or need to take a health break - as long as what ever you do does not wear you out but, rather, helps. Mood should be lifted by this, too. Once one starts with a rebounder, one is drawn to it just for fun and the improved sense of well-being it brings.

If you are not too mobile you can sit on a chair next to the rebounder with your feet on the rebounder.
Someone else can bounce on it and it will help your lymph flow.

So, if one is already following Dr. B's exercise guidelines, (strength training alternate days), is there additional benefit to rebounding?
Is there something special about bouncing, above and beyond other types of muscle contractions that helps move lymph?

- Beyond lymph support - a rebounder can help retrain the brain and the inner ear connections - helping to strengthen our balance and proprioceptive skills (how we know where we are in space).
Gently bouncing also helps lift mood. Many things about the movement and rhythm combination help us.
But, one does not necessarily need a trampoline to get some gently push/bounce exercise going. It's just easier with the mat giving some spring. For those who don't like, or want, to buy new stuff - make what you have around work for you. -
